In 1982 Rothstein was in Nicaragua helping Lt. Col. Oliver North during the Iran-Contra Affair.

He worked alongside CIA agents who were getting cocaine from Pablo Escobar through General Manuel Noriega and smuggling it into the USA for sale to street gangs on the East and West Coast.

After Nicaragua, Mossad sent Rothstein to São Paulo, Brasil, where he developed Xuxa into a rock and roll super star.

The drug smuggling continued.

He bought a home in North Miami Beach and maintained close ties with the CIA.

His drug smuggling made good profits.

He had a $5 million dollar group of condominiums in Rio de Janeiro, a million dollar house in North Miami Beach, a private jet, a $25 million dollar yacht in Monte Carlo and a 64,000-acre ranch in Mato Grosso, Brasil.

At age 15, Xuxa was followed home by a magazine publisher who invited her to become a model.

She became a centerfold in Playboy.

Aged 20 she was given her own TV show, Clube da Criança (Children's Club).

She became a film star and continued to make TV programmes with children.

In 2000, the Israeli Vice Consul in Rio de Janeiro, Arie Scher, fled from Brazil and returned to Israel.

Scher was being investigated in connection with child sex allegations.

Pornographic pictures and videotapes of young children had reportedly been filmed at Scher's house.

Reportedly, Arie Scher was head of a child prostitution ring which recruited girls as young as nine years old and organized sex parties with the children for Israeli tourists.

Reuters reported: “Police said a young girl testified she was filmed and photographed by the teacher, Georges Schteinberg, having sex with Israeli tourists. She also explained that Scher participated in some of the sessions . . . . ‘We confirmed that the pornographic pictures were taken next to the consul’s pool and on his deck,’ said Roberto Costa, a chief investigator for the civil police.” (American secrets, Mossad spies and sex, sex, sex)
